ABSTRACT:
The concept of activity packages has long been recognized as an important basis for planning outdoor recreation activities. Recent studies suggest, however, that because of definitional and methodological problems, little has been accomplished in helping park planners assess the degree to which activities can be planned together. In this study, we explore the relationship between participation in recreation activities and the number of facilities at which activity takes place. The results suggest that this relationship can be used as a reliable indicator of the degree to which recreation activities are perceived to be compatible. The analyses also suggest that households generally tend to perceive compatibility among recreation activities in the same way regardless of their socioeconomic status. The implications of these findings are considered and shown to be important within the context of park planning. Points out the need for alternative strategies in the development of outdoor recreation activity packages. Introduces and operationalizes a conceptual framework for identifying the components of activity packages. Explores the relationship between participation in recreational activities and the number of facilities at which activity takes place. Residents of Oklahoma (1,289) respond to a telephone survey. Results suggest that this relationship can be used as a reliable indicator of the degree to which recreational activities are perceived to be compatible. Also finds that households tend to have similar perceptions of compatibility among recreational activities regardless of their socioeconomic status. Discusses the implications of these findings for park planning.
